Orton-Gillingham Math is Asking, “Who let the dogs in?”

It’s back to school for everyone! 

And I do mean everyone.

A photo that appears to show the Stratford Festival going to the dogs  is winning hearts online. A group of service job dogs in training took in a performance of Billy Elliot and charmed the audience and staff.

This picture shows a group of pooches ranging from poodles to golden retrievers sitting patiently in their cushy seats, taking in a production of Billy Elliot at the Stratford Festival in mid-August. That’s just about the time many of us were preparing to go back to school and work

But while the photo may be fun, it turns out the dogs’ mission is serious: they’re training to be service dogs, and they’re practising what it’s like to help their  handler’s navigate through a theatre.

So I had to chuckle when I saw this article in the paper.

The people who train service dogs obviously must be multi-sensory trainers.

And it turns out, much to my amazement, that the only way to train service dogs to sit through a performance or a play is for them to experience it in a first person, multisensory way.

Yes they go to a live performance.

Recently at the Stratford  Festival, the actors performed a play to an audience of service dogs. 

It makes sense.

It’s the only way these pups could have the full interactive experience of sitting through a live event or performance.

Of course the plan is that in the future when these dogs are at a performance with the person they are assisting, they will remember exactly what to do and how to do it.

I must admit I’m just the same.
